I spent Friday evening in Austin and was told that Benihana was the only tepanyaki type Japanese steak house in Austin.  I have to agree with TJ's comments.  Although the food was fairly good, the prices were outrageous.  The sushi was also mediocre.  All in all, it was a fairly disappointing experience.

A new Koto Japanese steak house just opened up in Spring, TX.  I am told that it is excellent with very reasonable prices.  I will be trying it as soon as I can get up to that part of town.

Tokyo House, if it's still there (off Far West).
Haven't been there in years, but it was fine for
its genre when we went on a corporate outing.
